Faces from the Front explores the pioneering facial reconstruction undertaken on wounded servicemen by surgeon Sir Harold Gillies at the Queen’s Hospital in Sidcup, Kent during and after World War I.

Through the remarkable stories of individual patients, this study offers insights into the psychological effects of facial disfigurement and the origins of modern plastic surgery.
